“The latest players coming back will not be involved, that's Ozil, Giroud and Koscielny, they are the last ones and I don't think they will be involved on the tour on Thursday, but all the others will.”

Arsenal play Viking FK on Friday evening before travelling to Sweden to face Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City on Sunday.

The Gunners’ first pre-season tour ended last night after they defeated Chivas 3-1 thanks to goals from Rob Holding, Chuba Akpom and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
